Festival Lab
What It Is
Not a webinar. Not a masterclass. A working session.
Film festivals are often the only organization of their kind in a city. You solve problems with the same team, year after year, drawing from the same well. What's missing is a structured space to work through real problems with other festival people. Festival Lab is that space.
